Instrument cluster OEM replacement
I'm interested in replacing the stock(OEM) instrument cluster with a direct replacement by New USA Vintage. Does anyone have any experience or opinion on their product. Thanks for any input.
I only looked at their dashes and talked to a sales rep at a booth they had on this year's Power Tour. Seemed like a very nice setup, but way out of my price range lol. If you do this, post back with your thoughts on it.
Dont have experience with their product but I put a Florida 5.0 panel in my car as well as my brother's car. They look good and fit ok. I had to trim the plastic on mine to make the gauge bezel fit. Those look like they might fit a little better though.
One thing Ill suggest to you so you don't have a rats nest of wires behind the cluster is to get a Delphi GT 150 connector from Mouser Electronics to hook up your gauges to. You'll still have to splice wires but you'll have 1 plug to unhook if you ever need to take the cluster out instead of having to undo all your splices. You'll also need a crimper for the terminals and Summit Racing has one by Casper Electronics that is about $25 that works great. Its labeled as a Weather-pack crimper but will also work on the GT connector as well as the Delphi Metri-pack connectors also.
